Innovation in the European creative industries: a firm-level empirical approach
研究了欧洲创意产业中年轻企业的创新表现，发现创意产业企业在产品创新和研发强度上优于非创意产业企业，但流程和组织创新无显著差异，创始人人力资本和企业特征对创新有重要影响。
This paper explores the innovative performance of firms active in the creative industries (CIs). It identifies potential differentials in various innovation indicators between CI and non-CI young firms and examines drivers of the innovative performance of firms in the creative sectors. Our findings suggest that firms in the CIs outperform those in non-CIs both in terms of product innovation and R&D intensity, but not in terms of process and organisational innovation. Empirical analysis also suggests that the human capital of the founders as well as specific firm characteristics play a significant role in the innovative activity of firms in the CIs.
